At least OP realizes this was a cultural thing, not a biblical command. But that was the point, when looking at what the bible teaches we are supposed to research and understand...have understanding. In the case of a kiss Paul was not creating yet another new law for the church to be burdened with. He was reminding the brothers to be cordial and in that day and age a common greeting was with a kiss. In some places they still do that.
But your answer presents another issue, if you really DO believe this you should be teaching this to everyone as a biblical command. Why allow people to be disobedient if you really believe this is a biblical command?

I already demonstrated to you that the Kiss was not tied to the order of creation as "women preacher's" is. Do I have to sit here & just repeat myself all day?
See Prax, here's the problem w/ your hermeneutical methodology: After you get finished relegating everything that doesn't fir your fancy to mere "cultural relevance," that's the same thing the Gay "preacher's" say! After a while, repentance will merely be "cultural," the more excellent route is to obey the Word of God as consistently as we can...not erase what we don't like in the name of "culture"!
